Universal Robots‘ goal is to increase access to industrial robot technology for small and medium-sized enterprises. As of 2020, Universal Robots will have more than 700 employees worldwide and an annual turnover of more than $200 million, making it the market leader in the production of flexible collaborative robot equipment. Three Danish engineers started it
At an exhibition in Bilbao, Spain, ABB showcased its latest developments in robotics, drives and motors. BIEMH is the industry benchmark for digital technology and creative solutions for manufacturing. ABB‘s products are aimed at boosting productivity, flexibility and safety in industry. ABB demonstrated for the first time a robotic cell for 3D metal printing that
Industrial robots improve productivity, product quality and efficiency, making them ideal for manufacturers large and small. Many companies looking to automate their applications cannot afford the upfront cost of new equipment. Using used industrial robots for new applications is an excellent way to minimize the cost of a project and increase the return on investment.
Robotic welding innovations have had many beneficial effects on production. Welding settings can be monitored and improved without any downtime with the appropriate hardware and software. Modern welding processes now offer flexibility and productivity thanks to advanced automation and programming capabilities. Robotic welding is now commonly used in production contexts due to today’s sophisticated computational
Robotic systems used in direct and indirect food handling are designed to withstand many washdowns. The robot must be built to withstand a large amount of water being sprayed from a high-pressure, high-volume hose. To improve the flow rate of product spills and cleaning solutions, surfaces should be convex, rounded or sloped. Robots used in
The problems experienced by manufacturers over the last year and a half have taught us a lot. Many lessons were learned, ranging from the need for supply chain resilience to the usefulness of remote monitoring. When you include changing customer expectations and ongoing technological advances, you have a wealth of data to sort through and
Logistics centres don’t send pallets of single items, but shipments of mixed items. Huge trucks deliver items to the logistics centre and someone must unload the truck. During the unloading of the truck, each item must be registered and then stored. For this purpose Universal Robots and Mujin Corp created an automated system. With the
At Modex 2022, FANUC America, the world leader in CNC, robotics and ROBOMACHINES, introduced new CRX collaborative robots, as well as a variety of automation solutions for the warehousing and logistics industries. FANUC CRX cobots are easy to use, reliable and versatile enough to perform a wide variety of tasks. When the CRX comes into
McStarlite is a California-based company that manufactures parts for the aerospace industry. Like lip liners, they are the doughnut-shaped lip that sticks to the front of an aircraft’s engine casing. This metal rim is machined and molded so that air flows smoothly around the engine. The traditional way of polishing lip skins was traditionally done
In the coming years, there will be an increase in the number of industrial robots installed around the world. Automated 3D vision is an emerging trend in robotic work cells. The robot can use this technology to determine the location, size, depth, and color of an object. Logistics, food processing, life sciences and manufacturing are
